Designed for performance racing and cruising sailors, these strong, lightweight, aerodynamic systems are built for longevity, ease of use, and simpe installation.
Installation is easy: C-shaped open connectors with low-friction plastic isolators slip onto the headstay wire and into the foil without the need to cut your headstay
Twin grooves for fast sail changes: The foil’s twin grooves and smooth feeder allow fast hoists, douses, and sail changes—ideal for club racing.
Installs over your existing turnbuckle: The drum install over the existing turnbuckle and is adaptable to a variety of rigging options. The Harken toggle assembly accepts standard turnbuckles using swage, rod, Norseman or Sta-Lok terminals, or fits directly to a marine eye and the turnbuckle body is accessible for adjustment by raising the drum.
